This is probably the last 1991 Caprice 9C6 taxi in existence and is not a police car painted yellow. Sold new at H.B. Chevrolet in Forest Hills, NY , it served in Manhattan until it was required to come off the street due to New York City's taxi age restrictions. It was purchased from the original owner by a taxi collector and has been garaged since 1998 and has only been driven appoximately 4,000 miles since retirement and on nice days only . It is pretty much the way it came out of service with the massive NYC-only taxi bumper guard, meter, bulletproof partition, and roof light . The body and chassis are in good condition and haven't been touched except for occasional maintenance . The LR door has two, minor dents . The air conditioning still has some Freon in it but needs some more for the AC to blow cold but everything is there and hooked up. The music radio works . All the lights work. The tires have good tread but are older. The cab drives well but there is a minor exhaust leak and a transmission tick that both go away when the cab warms up. The brakes have a minor bumping starting so they will need attention eventually . The driver's seat has minor split in the backrest and the glovebox door latch is broken . The meter and speedometer are wired to a toggle switch to prevent a battery drain when parked for long periods. There is a Catwoman talking device but it's not working right now. The roof turn signals work . The headlights , turn signals, horn , wipers, and tail lights work. This cab passed the Ohio E check last fall . For what it is, this cab is in very good condition and it is highly doubtful that any more are still around from any city . For a Chevrolet fan, this is a car that you won't see at any Chevy show and is a unique, super easy restoration project. The pictures speak for themselves.
